The main objective of ArCa CJSC was the further development of a data processing center for fast and reliable payment transactions in a protected mode.

Situation

To implement this task a further development of a processing center was required. The main requirements were to provide high productivity, scalability and reliability of payment transactions and data backup.

Solution

After performing pre-project survey Bever experts prepared a technical proposal including a solution based on IBM® Server Rack which would be supplied together with high-tech communication equipment of Brocade, Cisco and Qlogic.

The project was approved by the customer and realized in short terms (3rd quarter 2001).

Bever Company supplied and implemented IBM® server hardware, which is failure safe, scalable equipment based on IBM® BladeCenter HS22 servers and IBM® DS3500 and IBM® TS3100 data backup systems. This complex is an optimal solution maximally meeting the customer requirements in providing reliable and highly productive work of the payment transactions system.

"We are pleased to work with ARCA and we hope that this solution based on IBM ® innovative technologies ensures effective implementation of all business tasks that the company plans to use in its business development and enhance competitiveness of the company ", - said Boris Aghajanyan, Director, Head of Project Solutions Department company Bever.

Result

At present the processing center of "ArCa" CJSC is equipped with new IBM® server and network hardware and is a highly productive, scalable system with a high level of readiness and information safety, providing fast and efficient payment transactions and IT services.

The main task of “Aregak” UCO CJSC is to construct a fault-tolerant distributed IT infrastructure for the efficient organization of business tasks (crediting, finance management, monitoring, customer relationship management, etc.)

Situation

Scalability, integrity and high readiness of the future IT infrastructure at Aregak UCO CJSC is the primary tasks for providing continuous functionality of the whole organization. Upon customer’s request it was necessary to totally upgrade the existing IT infrastructure with the demands.

After making a pre-project survey and studying the existing technological solutions, company experts prepared a technical project including step-by-step implementation, adjustment and setting in operation of all the components of IT infrastructure – server, storage system, network infrastructure, unified cable system and the whole telecommunication infrastructure to organize data exchange between the branches and head office. Also the phased general strategy of IT infrastructure development of “Aregak” UCO CJSC was created. The project of constructing the IT Infrastructure of “Aregak” UCO CJSC based on the formed specifications and requirements has started.

Solution

The IT Infrastructure implementation coincided with the moving of the Head office of "Aregak" UCO CJSC to a new location therefore it was supposed to conduct many installation work “from scratch” – life support systems, constructing cable systems, etc. In 2010 Bever specialists implemented the works of the fist phase of work – constructing a Data Processing Center (DPC) based on IBM® server hardware, network hardware of Cisco®, HP® and QLogic®, as well as data storage and backup systems. Implementing a new DPC significantly increased the volume of the stored information, accelerated computing transactions and provides the information safety by backup and archiving. The complex upgrade of DPC and also the upgrade of software allowed to provide high level of scalability and fault-tolerance of the IT Infrastructure. Mainly new was the implementation of the virtualization system, allowing to use optimally and distribute dynamically the whole computing resources depending on the overloads.

Unified management and monitoring of the whole IT Infrastructure components was organized by the help of Director Software.

On the second phase the processing centers of the branches based on IBM® equipment on Intel® platform and telecommunication equipment of Cisco® were upgraded and set in operation as well as the integration works of the branches DPC and Head office were implemented.

Result

At present the upgraded IT Infrastructure, after performing all the tests and start-up works, is set in operation at the Head office of “Aregak” UCO CJSC and integrated with the most of the branches in a unified information network. Currently the integration of the remaining branches in a unified IT Infrastructure is carried out. The experts of Bever Company provide consulting, technical support on all the questions connected with the operation and further development of IT Infrastructure of “Aregak” UCO CJSC.

Customer

The main task of "Prometey Bank" LLC was to provide high reliability, manageability and productivity by unifying separated computing resources in a unified information data center and building a fault-tolerant and easy scalable data processing center.

Situation

At the time of a new Data Processing Center (DPC) implementation all the services and IT services were performed by the separate servers by difficult manageability and high level of vulnerability. Among this bad scalability of the system demanded continuous unmanageable involvement of additional computing resources at an ordinary start-up of new banking services, and correspondingly IT services and system. This led to significant expenses for maintenance and support of server and network hardware. Therefore the Bank Management made a decision to upgrade the data processing center for the purpose of providing high scalability, productivity at low maintenance costs. At the same time it was necessary to provide the safety and manageability of the data.

After performing a pre-project survey and analyzing the business tasks at "Prometey Bank" OOO, Bever Company experts prepared an offer on implementing server hardware of IBM® Server series X and IBM® Storage System in the data processing center of the bank. Also a feasibility study was carried out and the overall cost of the IT Infrastructure development strategy was made.

Solution

In 2011 Bever Company specialists performed the works of projecting, delivery and installation of server and telecommunication hardware in the DPC of the bank. Virtualization of few systems was implemented to provide dynamic management of all the computing resources as well as the hardware and software components of DPC were installed. Centralized monitoring and unified management of all the DPC components were organized by the help of IBM® Director software.

Results

At present the upgraded DPC, after performing all the tests and start-up works, is set in operation and integrated with the existing IT Infrastructure.

The implementation of a new DPC with a high level of scalability, productivity, fault-tolerance allowed to significantly accelerate the business tasks operation and provide information safety by backup and archiving.

Unified, compatible architecture of IBM® Server Series X extends the efficient terms of investments and provides high level of availability by the help of developed functions of “Hot-swap” modules. And low power consumption allows to considerably reducing operational costs of electricity, cooling and air-conditioning.
